Tuck the cut piece of DuPont™ Tyvek® underneath the tear. Tape along the perimeter by starting at bottom of tear, shingling Upper tape over bottom tape. Step 1 Unroll and secure DuPont™ Tyvek® WRB over the wall section. Leave enough lap to ensure a minimum 6” overlap of the WRB on all sides except top of the wall.
Does it matter which side of Tyvek faces out?
Tyvek® HomeWrap® and Tyvek® CommercialWrap® are non-directional and are equally effective if installed with the logo facing the inside or outside of the wall or with the logo oriented in any direction.
How much do you overlap Tyvek?
The Tyvek® WRB should overlap through wall flashing by a minimum of 6”. Terminate the Tyvek® WRB at the bottom of the wall with 3” DuPont™ Tyvek® Tape, or DuPont Self-Adhered Flashing Products.
